yeah I remember that. heh, craiglist is awesome. specially in boulder, it's not even bad with hills. when I was in 8th grade I was able to take my single speed across town to my girlfriends while grounded and tell my parents I was at a best friends house half as far away and still got home just as fast. I love hills, the reward downhill is just as good as the benefit from the exercise you get.

Some days when I take my 'real' bike into the mountains for exercise the ride down seams longer than the ride up. I just go into a trance and make my legs figure it out, but concentrating while flying down the mountains makes it go slower. It sounds weird, but awesome! That's why I went around my school tonight, there's a huge hill I got to go down after going all the way up.

fuck, so I'm going to get some of these track wheels off craigslist tomorrow. I don't know if I want to put them on my allez or the ss. hmm...
